I Don't understand your first question, so I will start with the second one. I don't see any reason to avoid the form helper. Yes, creating forms in html isn't that much work for an experienced html-writer, but the form_validation library works well together with form helper. As for your third question. Yes, you should put a rule (remember: empty rules are rules too) on each field to get it repopulated when the form validates to false. For textareas you might consider using xss_clean and trim. If you would like to validate file uploads too, you might also be interested in this extension of the library: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/123651/ But there are others (and more extensive ones) out there. However, if you don't feel the need for an extension, you could use a callback to check the validity of a date. |
